It (Win98lite) looks like a nice product! Thanks for the tip.

I've been playing with Win4Lin over the last few days and have been pretty
impressed with it's speed and features - it's _heaps_ faster than VMWare
over a 10MB network. The newish server edition looks like it might be a
cheap alternative to citrix for small businesses. As a bonus the 1hour
trial version I have have happily runs for 2 or 3 hours.

Unfortunately the app that we want to run on win4lin (a funny dos app
running in protected mode with a 16 bit GUI interface) crashes the virtual
machine instantly. It runs happily in VMWare though. Have to try some more
tweaks.

Excellent idea.

They aren't all that flamible as far as I know, and besides are hard to get
into a standard wood heater. You could try politicians? ;-)


cheers,
